    Yeh it's pretty great I agree with everything you've said although I love the Gloss screen I have as I use mine only indoors and mainly at night.

    Is there a new Enduro/AMD driver that's been issued by Clevo yet?

    I have the one that came with my P150EM when I bought it a couple of months ago.

    I would just love some sort of indicator showing when the Intel 4000 is being used and when the 7970M is being used. Otherwise it's good enough.

    Actually thinking about buying one of the Gigabyte Ultrabook u2442n as I think that's going to be an awesome laptop.

    There is a software setting for the nividia to show the GPU or intel 4000 being used on the toolbar.

    Yes this would be a very welcome feature with the next Clevo/Enduro/AMD driver.

    NP9150 with any card but 7970m runs BF3 great.

    I still play BF3 at 45 FPS on Ultra with the 7970M, which is enough for me. Granted it's at 60% utilization, but I wouldn't say that is awful, in fact, compared to most systems, that's probably actually incredible. Anyway, hopefully new drivers coming in a few weeks will fix that.

    Anyone know where I can see the performance of the GTX 680M maxed out on ULTRA settings in BF3 muliplayer 64 w/tanks and explosions?
    That's what really matter and I wanted to see the 68m run with that at the most intense game dynamics.

    So far, all I see are ultra with a few online players and nothing more then the open maps. The CQ maps where it matters most especially(i know its dumb) where they 64 players in the CQ maps.

    Or do you have experience with the frame rates with what I am talking about? I want to knoew what th real FPS in BF3 is, not single player or i a smaller server on low settings. Ultra 64/ smoke/explosions/CQ maps

    Well, I don't even have BF3, so I don't even know anything xD I just torrented it to benchmark Single Player, HTWingNut will be able to tell you BF3 Multi on 680M as well.

    Oh my bad, excuse me.

    It's just not possible... maybe it will be one day, once you remove the mSATA and ODD :p

    Meh, at that point you'll still need the big fat PSU anyhow, and the 17" isn't a whole lot bigger or heavier.
